"We can officially confirm that The Walt Disney Studios and director Jon Favreau are putting a new reimagining of The Lion King on the fast track to production. The project follows the technologically groundbreaking smash hit The Jungle Book"

It kind of shows Hollywood and Disney have no original Ideas or anything new so they happy to recycle old films and update them. While I am intrigued and most likely will go and see it, I do worry if the magic that made the first film a success will be lost in a remake, especially if its all CGI.

I think this has the potential to be interesting, especially if they take a whole new angle on the story like I suggested in another thread! What if this re-imagining has Nala as the protagonist and recounts the events of the original movie from her perspective? And maybe the creators of the movie wouldn't be aware of SP, but what if we finally got a canon explanation on where Zira and her lionesses came from?
